This book, which appeared first in English, has already been translated into several other languages, but it is a special pleasure to see it published in Polish. My father’s parents were both Polish, although they came from municipalities that, in their time, were located in the Austrian Empire and that are now part of Ukraine, not far from the Polish border. My grandfather was a native of the Galician town of Brody; my grandmother was raised in the Galician city of Krystynopol (now Chervonohrad). He emigrated to America before World War I; she left her childhood home – which was blasted half to bits during exchanges of gunfire between the Central Powers and the Russians – during the war, traveling all alone at the age of fifteen and waiting for several months in Rotterdam until it was determined that the shipping route was safe from German mines.

Pentagon ADMITS that it has been testing wreckage from UFO crashes
The Pentagon has admitted to possessing and testing out wreckage from UFO crashes, with the researcher who found the startling news hypothesizing that the debris may be from the famous Roswell, New Mexico, crash in 1947.
Researcher Anthony Bragalia made the revelation on his blog UFO Explorations, sharing that he secured more than 150 pages from the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) after the agency responded to a three-year Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request he submitted.
‘Although much of the reports’ details are redacted, what can be gleaned is that these technologies represent a literal quantum leap beyond the properties of all existing material known to man,’ Bragalia wrote in his blog.
This is looking more and more like the acclimating drip drip drip before the Big Reveal.
GOLDSTEIN: Why does Trudeau not want us to see vaccine deals?
The fact Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Procurement Minister Anita Anand refuse to disclose the contracts they’ve signed with vaccine manufacturers raises the question of what’s in them that they don’t want us to see.
They’ve rejected appeals from the opposition parties, Canada’s premiers and provincial public health experts to release the contracts on the grounds this would violate confidentiality provisions, which could lead to their cancellation.
California is collapsing – Once seen as a progressive’s paradise, the state is drifting towards a new kind of feudalism
If one were to explore the most blessed places on earth, California, my home for a half century, would surely be up there. The state, with its salubrious climate, spectacular scenery, vast natural resources, and entrepreneurial heritage is home to the world’s fifth-largest economy and its still-dominant technological centre. It is also — as some progressives see it — the incubator of “a capitalism we can believe in”.
David Baddiel vs woke anti-Semitism
David Baddiel’s Jews Don’t Count is a short, sharp attack on ‘progressive’ attitudes towards anti-Semitism. As such, it makes for a compelling polemic.
As Baddiel characterises them, progressives are a broadly left-leaning coalition who ‘define themselves as being on the right side of history’. You can find them on the one-time Corbynista wing of the Labour Party, or hash-tagging their support for Black Lives Matter, or maybe penning op-eds for the Guardian. They are not necessarily ‘classically left-wing’, as Baddiel puts it, given many are none too concerned with economics and the interests of ‘the working man’. Rather, they are interested in fighting what is best thought of as a cultural battle, promoting the ‘right’ attitudes and, above all, tackling all forms of prejudice.
All except one, that is.
Actor James Dreyfus slam trans activists as ‘misogynistic guys in skirts’ for waging war of hatred on JK Rowling
Actor James Dreyfus today slammed trans activists as ‘misogynistic guys in skirts’ for waging a war of hatred against Harry Potter author JK Rowling.
The Gimme, Gimme, Gimme star, 52, claimed those involved were ‘angry, young, anarchist people’ who harboured a deep hatred of women and ‘what they represent’.
He also accused them of being behind an alleged campaign of threats to kill and rape women in order to ‘put them back in their place’.
Trump impeachment acquittal is a victory for ‘white supremacy’ … according to liberals crying over ‘sad day in America’
“It is a sad day in America when only 7 republicans have the patriotism and integrity to convict a tyrant,” actress and Democrat activist Alyaa Milano tweeted minutes after Trump’s acquittal was announced, with 43 Senators ultimately voting down the article of impeachment accusing the former president of “inciting an insurrection.”
The daunting math of Trudeau’s goal to have all willing Canadians get COVID vaccine by September
OTTAWA – Since last November, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said all Canadians who want a COVID-19 vaccine will have one by September.
Trudeau, his ministers and MPs have all repeated that promise despite a slowdown in vaccine deliveries that has seen Canada fall behind the world for vaccinations during the last month. It’s a promise to Canadian voters and now a political liability should the government fail to deliver.
‘They’d have made me a spy’: China uses LinkedIn to steal state secrets
Under fake profiles, agents offer money and lucrative business opportunities in exchange for sensitive information. Fiona Hamilton meets one of their targets
Philip Ingram was initially interested when he was contacted to do some work for a security company in Shanghai.
As a former colonel whose expertise includes specialist cyberintelligence work and knowledge of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons, Ingram was used to such approaches.
“I got a connection request from someone on LinkedIn, I get lots of them,” Ingram said. “His name was Robin, he was a Chinese businessman with links across the security industry in his profile. It fitted the sort of people I would connect with, so I accepted.”
We Didn’t Start the Fire – How much blame do the baby boomers deserve?
So, I’m a boomer, okay? I mean, a real Zelig of a boomer. I started Brandeis University just a few years after Abbie Hoffman and Angela Davis graduated. During my time there, two classmates, Kathryn Power and Susan Saxe, hooked up with a former convict studying at the campus on a government scholarship for parolees. Along with some of his ex-prison buddies, they robbed a National Guard Armory in Newburyport, Massachusetts and went on to kill a Boston police officer in a bank heist; Saxe and Power didn’t get their diplomas, but they did earn the distinction of being two of only ten women ever to make the FBI’s Most Wanted list. I saw the Who play at a dive club called the Boston Tea Party and an out-of-his-gourd Keith Moon—“Moon the Loon”—smash his drums into kindling. I was at the festival at Altamont outside of San Francisco, known for the moment when Mick Jagger’s Hell’s Angels “security guards,” hired in exchange for $500 worth of beer, stabbed and killed an 18-year-old African-American man.
Audit Finds ‘No Formal Tracking’ of IT Security Incidents at Public Safety Canada
OTTAWA—An internal review has uncovered weak security practices when it comes to information technology at Public Safety Canada—from lax controls on the use of portable flash drives to inadequate awareness and training.
The review found employees who were no longer with the department “still had privileged access to the network” and that some current employees had unnecessary administrative access to “mission critical applications.”
Too many Teslas
“We really want people not to charge or heat their electric car between eight and nine in the morning.” In fact, according to Norway’s E24 news, the strain on the national grid was so great that the average cost for electricity in Norway ballooned some 600 per cent that Thursday morning.

White House Reassures Gun Control Groups It Will Fulfill ‘Ambitious’ Gun Control Agenda
With control of the House, Senate, and White House as a backdrop, Biden administration officials in their meeting with gun control advocates conveyed confidence about enacting gun control legislation through legislative and executive actions that in the past had not gotten the votes.
On Wednesday, Domestic Policy Advisor Susan Rice and White House Public Engagement Director and Senior Advisor Cedric Richmond held a virtual meeting with leaders of gun control groups, including Gifford’s Everytown for Gun Safety, Moms Demand Action, and Brady, during which they discussed gun violence in America.
